Sanfrecce Hiroshima have won by 1+ goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (3-0, 4-1, 4-1), while Gamba Osaka have lost by 1+ goals in just 1 of their last 5 (1-3) — the numbers suggest the away side is the one that regularly wins by a margin, while the home side rarely loses by a big margin. Gamba Osaka's last 5 matches: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, but they have conceded 7 goals in 3 matches this season (average 2.3 per match), while Sanfrecce Hiroshima have conceded just 2 in 3 (average 0.7) and scored 8 (average 2.7). The home side is likely to have less control of the game (control stats lean toward the away side) and it should end with Sanfrecce Hiroshima applying more pressure.
